  Speaker 1: footage starts with a scene of doctor Doom in full costume,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: sitting on a golden throne as he is known to do.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: The ground is pulsing with green energy, and Sue Storm says,

  Speaker 1: from him, and it shows him in front of a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: painting that you see from the poster. I knew he
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: was lost, but I didn't realize he was broken. We
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: see giving a speech to most of the heroes that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: are in the room, then we fly over what looks
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: like a completely destroyed city. Read Richard's asks in a

• 7:56
  Speaker 1: give them back. We watch Victor jump out of a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: building fly down to the ground, nailing the superhero landing
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the tradition. Thor is there jumps at Doom, swinging his
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: axe Stormbreaker at him, and he says, I swear you'll
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: beg for hell when I'm through with you, says Thor.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Victor stops him with a finger, and Thor keeps pushing
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and pushing, but nothing happens. Victor then flicks him back
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: just with a wave of his hand, and Victor says,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Hell answers to me, and then a bunch of Sentinel
• 8:32
